Eating Out of the Trash Can for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was pretty darn exciting! We had a great dinner which included eating a turkey cooked in a trash can!
My brother Dave (host and Boy Scout Den Master) was the turkey chef.

Supplies:
Cement board
New Trash Can
Lidded Dutch oven or clean new bricks for a stand
Rod from a deep fryer
Bunt pan
2 18 lbs bags of charcoal
Briquettes Chimney starter
Big Turkey (because this is yummy)

Lay cement board. Stack Dutch oven, rod, and bunt pan (in order) in the center of the board. The rod should go through the bunt pan (the bunt pan collects the juices so you can have gravy). The turkey slides down the rod and sits in the bunt pan. Cover with can. Arrange one bag of charcoal around can. Use charcoal briquette starter to ignite some of the charcoal without starter fluid. Nest small piles of burning charcoal into unlit charcoal until all the charcoal is burning. Add new charcoal as needed. The trash can roaster works on the same principle as a convection oven. It takes about five - six hours to cook depending on the size of the turkey.
